#3 CB: James Chester
Following Hull’s relegation, James Chester was one of those who was looking for a new club to stay in the Premier League. Snapped up by Tony Pulis’s West Brom for a reported £8 million, Chester’s ability to play as both a centre-back and as a right-back looked to solidify the fact that he would be a vital part of the team from Hawthorns this season.
Instead, it’s gone all wrong for the Irishman with Tony Pulis settled on a Dawson-McAuley-Olsson-Evans back four for this season. Even an injury to Olsson couldn’t force Chester in, with Pulis calling in Chris Brunt to be the temporary left back.
Having only three starts and zero substitute appearances, Chester has openly voiced his displeasure over his lack of playing time and how it is hindering his chances of making the cut for the Welsh Euro 2016 team. Not quite what he had in mind when he signed on to be the club’s most expensive defender.
